5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA joke of a school. Teachers do not engage with parents, my son hasn't been learning anything. He's in first grade and he comes home with pictures he's colored. The bus is a nightmare, they cannot get pickup or drop off time right or even the bus number. Sometimes the bus doesn't show up at all. I expressed my son was vegetarian to the school and what do they do? They feed him chicken nuggets. My son has come home with marks on his body, neck etc... and they're from other students but I have to try to pull it out of my son, because the teacher doesn't notify me when an issue like this happens. Worst school you can imagine. Barely accredited. Everyone from the teachers to superintendent to the bus drivers are seriously lacking in any intelligence whatsoever. Pathetic excuse of a school. I am disgusted by itParent Review3y ago - Colonial Beach High School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone. Most of the staff are very rude and sometimes favor certain students. The special education system is terrible and does not even bother to meet students’ needs. In all classrooms, they just hand you an iPad and expect you to figure things out yourself.The staff speak very poorly of some students, as I’ve overheard them doing, and when I tried to report it, they dismissed my concerns as nonsense. The counselor is very rude as well; none of the other students bother speaking to her because of her attitude. Please save your time and have your child transferred to Westmoreland High School, as I wish I could be there, but CBHS says I cannot transfer.I’m grateful this is my last year at this school and that I’m finally leaving. They are also trying to place me in a college I have rejected thousands of times.Student Review5mo ago
